Health Office

Welcome to the Health Office page! Education is a main priority at Taylor Elementary, but we also put your child’s health and safety as a top priority as well. Attendance at school is important for our students, but we understand that when our students are sick, they have a difficult time staying on task and remaining engaged. Our health techs are here to ensure each student meets his/her full potential physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

Medications

The health tech is prohibited by law from dispensing medications at school without a written order from a physician and a parent signature. An adult must bring the medication to the health tech in the prescription bottle. Children may not, under any circumstances, carry medicine to administer themselves. These legal requirements are for the protection of the students.

Emergency Update Sheet

Each year it is essential that each child have a current emergency sheet. The sheet will contain current information so health and office personnel can reach parents/guardians in case of an illness or injury. We will post the form under our “Important Links” section when the current school year’s form becomes available.
